The first Batman Movie I ever watched was Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as Joker. I am 39 going on 40 and I still see Keaton as the true Batman.
I think Keaton, Bale, and Affleck were great in different ways. Keaton's Batman always felt unfinished. He was amazing in two films, and then he was gone. It wasn't just him. That character was gone. The Batman of the Schumacher movies was an entirely different Batman with no relation to the two Burton movies. We loved that Keaton Batman, and never got to find out what happened next. After all these years, we finally get that answer, and I'm so incredibly happy.
Let me explain why Keaton is great for the Batman role and Jack Nicholson is the perfect Joker. That is Because they both study the characters in the DC comic book and understand the character's behavior. Not a single Joker out there competes with Jack Nicholson. This is the key to making the movie so great, not today's movies people just like action and all the high-tech graphics, and they forgot the most important is how to portray the Batman character. Bale tries with a deep voice and stuff but compare to Keaton he is nothing.
The Flash looks like a great Batman movie. ;) Seriously glad to see Keaton in the cowl again. I love the let's get nuts line.... Harkens back to the reason I think Keaton nailed Batman. He brought the crazy. I've always held the opinion that although a hero and a 'good guy', Bruce Wayne is NOT sane. Keaton brought the crazy. Just enough. You actually think this billionaire would actually dress up like a bat and beat the shit out of bad guys nightly. Others have brought their own thing, but Keaton is my personal favorite for that reason. If WB is smart, Keaton is already locked into a few films as Batman....
The reason I might actually watch this movie. Ezra seems to be a terrible person (no matter what gender they chose to be). Grant Gustin is THE FLASH anyway.
Keaton's Batman was the most awesome I could think of. Only Batfleck was my next favorite Batman. Asam West's Batman was also interesting. I don't understand why a certain generation like Bale's Batman. Maybe because he looks snazzy and stuff like that?
I've always said Keaton brought the crazy. Bruce Wayne is not sane. Keaton makes you believe he is just crazy enough to do what he is doing, and just sane enough to do it well. Though in the least realistic movies (aside from the gawdawful neon shoemaker crap I'd rather just forget existed) I've always thought he was the most realistic character for that reason. At the end of the day, Batman is only slightly more sane than the Joker. Keaton sold me on that with his performance.
In 1989,i went with my 3 years old son to see BATMAN.That movie made a strong impression in him.20 years later,he bought a sport black car,and he got a tattoo in his wrist with the batman logo.Suddenly his mother passed away,and he got a severe depression.As his father I hope He will be again the strong,clever young guy he once was.because for me,He will be BATMAN FOREVER!
Sorry for your Loss and sincere Heartfelt Condolences and Sympathies to your son. 😢🥺😞😔 May she RIP and may he heal and grow into the Man you both desire and may he add his Superhero contribution to mankind in some way that all that know him and you in the local community, society can be blessed by. 1Love Brother ❤
The only BatMan I truly believe he actually brought to life . Now if the joker had a cameo but sadly Jack Nickolas probably isn’t in good enough shape to pull it off .
Every now and again, an older highly skilled individual has no choice but to sigh and show these stupid kids how to do it properly. I am talking about both Keaton and the older Batman he is playing. I liked Bale, I liked Affleck... But Keaton is my personal favorite in the role. Funny how decades later his performance is still respected and loved... And Clooney has to apologize for his ;)
Why would they have got him. When he is the bad guy in Spider-Man? Now what ? My thinking is. Why recycle these guys ? Nothing wrong with him coming back as Batman. He was Batman But why did he be the bad guy in Spider-Man. Is there not enough actors in Hollywood?
Soooo excited to see Michael Keaton as Batman again!!!!!! He is my absolute favorite! I have not gone to see a movie since months before covid! I am DEFINITELY going to see this movie!
@@DreamingDarlin I dont know anything about Ezra and have to look into what you are referring too. I too do not support evil of any kind! Thanks for your reply!
The only thing that could top Keaton as Batman is if Christopher Reeve shows up, outside a window, and says "General, would you care to step outside?" If that happens, I will loose my mind and cry with happiness.
Keaton returns after 30yrs, one last fight for the old champion without missing a beat. Incredible. Watch him absolutely destroy the box office June 16 weekend. Records don't stand a chance.
I only wish that my brother would have been able to live to see this he was the ultimate Batman fan and I remember going to the theaters to see Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as the joker back in 1989 my brother would have absolutely loved seeing Michael Keaton in the Batman cape and cowl one more time Michael Keaton looks amazing and he will do an awesome job as the Batman.
When I saw Keaton in it, I said to myself "I gotta watch this move!", in my opinion Keaton was a great Batman. Keaton and Bale are both excellent because they are different!
Could have done this movie with someone different than the psycho they have in the lead role. Keaton is a good fit for Batman, and did really well as the Vulture.
If you're interested in dimension jumping, watch SLIDERS from 1990s. It has similar scene, the guy jumping dimension back to his house, looking at the fence and gate.
@@dicezart9667 The description for Bruce Wayne was 6ft 2, 215 lbs. Has been since the comics were published. Sometimes you can only suspend disbelief so much before you go, F no. Like a Black Female Viking Jarl or a Black sword wielding Cleopatra.
@@linusa2996 yawn... as if size is the most important thing about acting. Or as if there weren't dozens of comic, cartoon and film variations. Or as if this film wasn't about multiverses where anything goes. Would you complain that Alligator-Loki is not believable? If really traditionalist then everything look like in the first comic. Or we go all the way and say no to films, only the first print run represents Batman. ☝🏻
@@linusa2996 we got it. everybody got it. but firstly Keaton can play somebody with smarts and discipline and willpower and that's what makes the character survive. And secondly, maybe more important - especially in comics the physicality is but symbolic of the power they possess. As I said, if you take them literally everything must be trndiin hour colours. I recommend 'Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud, it's excellent.
i remember when i was about 8 or 9...my mom and dad came home with the vhs rental from our local Pik n Save bcuz our local Blockbuster wqs outta the BATMAN returns we had wanted but couldnt get for 2 weeks but my dad somehow found it at the local grocery market(yes they rented videos back then too lol)...i btw had the lil underwear batman undies lol and i was so pumped after whatching the first one..i ALSO had a FREE kids pizza from pizza hut (remember those-got it for perfect attendance) neways my dad got it for me along with the cool sat pizza movie night ... but i felt so special with my lil pizza watching my favorite superhero kick butt on a cold saturday night in milwaukee wi with my family sometime in the winter......oh the days...i miss those....but NOW the NOSTALGIA.....i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!thank u KEATON....and ...now..with all my fav superhgeroes together....sigh....so happy

THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD MOVIE, HOPE IT DOESN'T DISAPPOINT. MANY BLESSINGS FOR THIS MOVIE THAT IT DOES WELL AT THE BOX OFFICE. THANKS AND STAY SAFE ❤️ 🙏❤️💋🙏
There turning Superman into a woman, and Flash is a psychopath cross dresser what has this world come to? Im done with this woke Hollywood crap! Im not watching this as much as I want to see Keaton as Batman im dont supporting woke Hollywood
Can't wait to see this! As a kid from the 60's, when Batman was literally, the weakest Comic heroes. Honestly, you could not trade a Batman comic book for anything, except for maybe Aquaman,
